RegioJet launches train from Czech Republic to Ukraine
The railway is one of the most convenient ways to travel. Due to the high demand of Ukrainians seeking to return home, the Czech carrier RegioJet is launching a rail service that will repeat the route of evacuation trains. Trains will start running on June 12, 2022.
CZECH REPUBLIC → UKRAINE. WHICH CITIES CAN YOU REACH?
From the Czech capital, there is an opportunity to get to Kyiv, Lviv, Khmelnytsky, Vinnytsia, and Ternopil. Trains will also run in the opposite direction.
The flight is a change in Przemyśl on the Ukrzaliznytsia train, which will take you to your destination. Thus, by buying a ticket on the carrier's website, you get a ticket for two trains.
